  |[ ... ] I have had occasion to be glad of an alias in Mandriva:
  | 
  | $ alias
  | alias rm='rm -i'

 A colleague I once worked with was fond of creating the file
 named “-i” in directories, so that a mistaken “rm *” would
 turn into “rm -i files...”, whether or not there was also an
 alias/function/versioning/whatever also in effect.

cheers!
